and so it begins...

I've spent a lot of time in the last few months thinking about my personal impact on the environment and my environment's impact on me. I've become much more aware of the power I have to better my life and my world. This blog will detail my personal journey towards a greener, cleaner, healthier life.

VivianCongratulation! Your page looks great!!!! I like what you said about skin care products. For about a year now, Kyle and I have been using Olive oil as moisturizer-it works great. We also use apricot and almond oils for massage( and good salad dressings too). The only down side is that the cat likes them and licks our toes! I got sucked in by sale signs and marketing at shoppers drug mart last week and bought some Life Brand massage oil that is called "naturals". There are so many strange chemicals and perfumes in it that we can't even use it. I have to take it back. Pure and Natural for us all the way, baby.Good luck with everything!Greenly(?) Sarah

Thanks so much Sarah! I realize that it won't be easy and I will have to change a lot of my current habits but I think it will be well worth it.

I think it will be really interesting to discover what is out there in the consumer world in terms of truely green and healthy products. False claims run rampant. Hopefully I won't be too disappointed. (probably just wishful thinking on my part)

I have to admit that following your efforts to go garbage-free has been an inspiration. Thanks for your support!
